The implications of this - that all the ancestors speak like their dancestor selves - makes the Signless and Redglare a lot funnier to think about.

Terezi explicitly states that her way of speaking comes from ancient prophets or something.

edit: So..is Grandpa Harley probably still alive on his battleship in the Betaverse? (before dying and inevitably getting stuffed in proud Harley tradition) And he never came to say hi to Jade during all 3 years?

Now when would've Jake been rescued? And based on Vriska's sprite 'tampering' I wonder if the Alpha kids even went through a trickster rush. And how did they get to the victor's platform already? So many questions...

Given that there are evil robot lines extending across her body, it's probably more difficult to remove than just taking the thing off her head.

If you start from here, you'll see Jane retell these events. In brief: Yes, the Alpha kids went Trickster, and we can assume that this all is happening immediately where Jane left her story off. So Jake has been successfully rescued, but Roxy is dead. I suspect that they're on this platform to regroup and plot their next move, with the asleep Jade and Jane in tow.

With that having been established, everyone's looking surprisingly at ease with Roxy's death. And I would suppose that they don't yet know about John.

We already did see Roxy's death. And rendered in a much more artistically pleasing way than the current format, no less.

Establishing shots will as establishing shots do.

So this is after the confrontation with Jane, meaning their Roxy is dead. There's no sign of Dirk. I don't think we know what the Condesce is up to at the moment, and still no sign of the other sprites. Also I guess we might be about to see a Tavros and Jake conversation, which'll be interesting. They have a fair bit in common (both Pages, love of Tinkerbulls, had friends aggressively rope them into uncomfortable relationships).

Alternatively, as an old-rear end man, I am happy Andrew Hussie will be updating earlier in the day now. Now I don't have to wait until the morning to see the update, or stay up and only get five hours of sleep before work.



edit: Jade sent Dirk to the farthest ring before she went to the Meteor (and got put to sleep), so that probably still happened. Presumably, once they can wake Jade back up, they can bring him right back. But for now, it lets Dirk and Dave have a one-on-one conversation.

Did we ever see GCat get created from Jake's BARK code, or was it just assumed that that happened at some point during the 4 month stretch?

I was really hoping, for a good long while, that everything Gamzee did post-papshoosh was going to be explained as a super-longview approach to taking Lord English down (Like, he was making Caliborn's rise as easy as possible. I figured he was getting all the 'necessary' stuff done in a way that led to Caliborn being unable to cope with adversity when the big showdown finally happened), but, sadly, no, he was just being an rear end in a top hat.

The argument (I report, I do not endorse) was that Vriska is way way worse than Gamzee, because in the current timeline he only killed off two people (Equius, Nepeta) and so did she (Tavros, Aradia). Therefore Vriska should never be happy ever.

At this juncture I think I'd be genuinely disappointed if Gamzee was playing some sort of Longest Game. I'd much rather him remain irredeemable clown trash.

Unlike Vriska, he hasn't expressed anything resembling a positive quality, and no, 'Being Stoned' doesn't count.

I've heard dumb people make a self-defense argument about Tavros, and, in fairness, of all those, the only death that seems to have stuck is Nepeta.

None of the update notifiers seem to work anymore, I think the MSPA has had some backend changes in the last several months. Just use the RSS.
